Instructions
- Grease and flour a bundt pan or use baking spray. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add softened butter and beat until crumbly. Mix in eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and milk, beating for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- In another bowl, mix diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon. Fold this into the cake batter.
- Pour the cake mixture into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 55-60 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before flipping onto a cake plate to cool completely.
- For the glaze, combine brown sugar, butter, and 4 tablespoons of milk in a saucepan. Heat over medium until boiling, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let it cool for 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk the cooled sugar mixture with powdered sugar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Pour over the cooled cake and let it set for about 10 minutes before slicing.
